Changes v2 => v3:
1. Use __vmalloc_huge in alloc_large_system_hash.
2. Use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for new functions. (Christoph Hellwig)
3. Add more description about the issues and changes.(Christoph Hellwig,
   Rick Edgecombe).

Changes v1 => v2:
1. Add vmalloc_huge(). (Christoph Hellwig)
2. Add module_alloc_huge(). (Christoph Hellwig)
3. Add Fixes tag and Link tag. (Thorsten Leemhuis)

Enabling HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMALLOC on x86_64 and use it for bpf_prog_pack has
caused some issues [1], as many users of vmalloc are not yet ready to
handle huge pages. To enable a more smooth transition to use huge page
backed vmalloc memory, this set replaces VM_NO_HUGE_VMAP flag with an new
opt-in flag, VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP. More discussions about this topic can be
found at [2].

Patch 1 removes VM_NO_HUGE_VMAP and adds VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP.
Patch 2 uses VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP in bpf_prog_pack.
